I was born in Chicago, IL and raised in Kennesaw, Georgia. I moved to Bartow County in 1999. I attend Cass High School as a Junior.

I always wanted to learn a martial art for fitness and self defense. A friend told me about Master Roger Koo's studio in downtown Cartersville. I joined his studio on August 15, 2000 at the age of 16. I have been training for 17 months and has so far (April 5, 2002) done 258 classes.

Over that period of time, I have developed tremendous stamina, fitness, flexibility and power. Moreover, Koo Self Defense training has given me more self control, self confidence, self discipline, self esteem and better manners.

I exercise regularly in order to improve my martial arts skill. My goal is to earn my black belt and to one day become a Master in Koo Self Defense.
